<p>
  The <span class="application">Libgda</span>'s console tool allow one to send SQL commands to a database server, and
  to easily browse the meta data associated to the database (ie. get information about
  tables and their columns, functions, triggers, etc). This tool has a usage similar to
  PostgreSQL's <span class="application">psql</span>, MySQL's <span class="application">mysql</span>, Oracle's
  <span class="application">sqlplus</span> or SQLite's <span class="application">sqlite3</span> programs.
</p>
<p>
  However, contrary to the programmed mentioned above, The <span class="application">Libgda</span>'s console tool
  offers the same features and usage for any of the databases supported by <span class="application">Libgda</span>.
  For more information, consult the man page (<span class="command"><strong>man gda-sql</strong></span>).
